It was claimed the Barca president Bartomeu hired the company for negative PR and it caused unrest among some of the players according to reports.

Setien has had a tough start to his Barca career as well and has dismissed such claims..saying the players and Bartomeu are in good accord.

Yesterday, Bartomeu spoke with Messi, Busquets, Piqué and Sergi, as well as Setién for 35 minutes to clarify the entire I3 Ventures fiasco. The meeting was tense and the captains remain uneasy about the whole situation. [espn] pic.twitter.com/bApdJUt5is
